• You dont have to be a genius to clean your home,
  that much is true, but sometimes it does pay to
  put a little thought into how you do it.
  Haphazardly cleaning your home in a random
  fashion usually only means that you dont get the
  job done efficiently, and some parts of your home
  get missed if youre not methodical. Here are a
  few steps for cleaning your entire home quickly
  and efficiently
• Always begin cleaning at the top of your home, or
  if you live an apartment or single storey home,
  then begin at one end and finish at the other.
  Clean rooms that can be classed as dry firstly,
  such as bedrooms, and then move on to the
  bathrooms before you begin heading downstairs, or
  to the opposite end of your home.

• Follow your tried and tested methods of cleaning,
  and use your favourite cleaning solutions, but
  always remember to dust from the top and move
  downwards, and do it as thoroughly as time
  permits, to prevent you from having to do it all
  over again within a matter of days (or hours
  depending upon the nature of your household!).
• If you have stairs, clean them as you move
  downward. Its most effective to take a step down
  and then turn around and clean each step as it
  faces you, however, if this isnt safe, then
  please dont use this method!
• Hallways are often the messiest and dirtiest dry
  areas of a home, and so cleaning them before you
  begin carrying grime and dust into the other
  rooms, makes a whole lot of sense.

• That said, depending upon the dimensions of your
  home, you might not be able to avoid moving along
  hallways as you go from room to room, so always
  be prepared to vacuum them quickly once more at
  the end of your cleaning session.
• Move into the living and dining rooms and begin
  dusting from the top and make your way down. Give
  your cushions a plump, check for debris on
  furniture and down the sides if you have small
  children in your home or even messy adults! While
  you may never look down into the cracks of your
  furniture, and guests are highly unlikely to,
  youll never feel as if your rooms are truly
  clean if you miss those spots out. Then vacuum
  the floor and mop if you have tiles or laminated
  flooring, always working from the furthest point
  away towards the door.

• Progress downstairs to the bathrooms, clean them
  from top to toe without skipping areas that might
  be trickier to clean, but which must be tackled
  for a truly clean bathroom, such as behind the
  toilet, the shower screen/curtain, and inside any
  cabinets.
• If you have a utility room, clean that last of
  all before you move on to the kitchen, which
  should then be the last room in your home and on
  your cleaning schedule.
• If you really dont want to be a dummy when
  cleaning, why not hire a cleaning service to come
  in and get it done for you now thats a clever
  tip!
